We define the biogeographic status quo of zooplankton communities sampled during the summer of 2008 in the sub-Arctic Pacific and western Arctic regions and examine spatial patterns of stable isotopes in the context of regional oceanography. Eight zooplankton assemblages were identified and correspo...
